Question

how to detect and get url on string javascript?

how to get result like this from my string :

var result = ["http:://google.com", "http:://youtube.com"]

how do that?

Answer 1

You input has double :: after http. Not sure if it intentional. If it is then use:

var matches = string.match(/\bhttps?::\/\/\S+/gi);

If only one : is needed then use:

var matches = string.match(/\bhttps?:\/\/\S+/gi);

const matches = string.match(/\bhttp?::\/\/\S+/gi);
console.log(matches);
